Posted September 8, 201212 yr Hey all! So I've finally done it - gone out for a weekend ride in the glorious weather! Since picking my bike up a couple of weeks ago, I've simply strolled down to the shops or gone out for a local jaunt for practise seeing as I've never ridden before. Anyway, around family commitments, I had a few free hours today, and how could I resist this weather?! So I've just come back from a 90 mile ride around some glorious roads. For those who know the area, I went over Woodhead Pass and around Holmfirth / Penistone and then back towards my house, out over Snakes Pass, down to Castleton and over Winnats Pass before ending up in Chapel-on-le-Frith and back up into Glossop. No dramas, just great views and a lot of bugs flying into my visor! This is what riding is all about... :-)
September 8, 201212 yr It has been great weather Bippo, hope you've many other day's like that. All the best with the bike and HTR.
